Aged for 19 months in 31% new small French oak barrels from Ermitage, Seguin Moreau, Taransaud, and Saury, it was bottled unfiltered in August 2024. Draped in its signature red velvet label, the Reserve bottling is the most structured and balanced wine in the lineup, standing on equal footing with the Generations bottling in 2022. It delivers a panoply of red, black, and blue-toned fruit, layered with dried herbs and anchored by a firm, dusty tannic backbone. Notes of salted dark chocolate and graphite minerality frame the finish, adding depth and complexity to the overall profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" class=\"sr-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e92 Points James Suckling \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eEasy-sipping, full-bodied and almost sweet in flavor.
